A/C Compressor For 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant & 2006-2011 Eclipse 2.4L – Complete Replacement Guide (TEM255606)

by flippancy 24 Apr 2026

Warm air from the vents? On a 2004-2012 Mitsubishi Galant or a 2006-2011 Eclipse with the 2.4L engine, the usual culprit is a dead A/C compressor. This guide covers the TEM255606 replacement end to end: what it fits, the exact specs, the five failure symptoms to watch for, and the install steps that keep the new unit alive.

What the TEM255606 Is — and What It Fits

The TEM255606 (cross-referenced as CO-11159T) is a 100% brand-new A/C compressor — not a remanufactured unit — built as a direct bolt-on replacement for select 2.4L Mitsubishi models. It arrives with the full electromagnetic clutch assembly pre-installed, so the job is: mount it, service the system, charge it, done.

You can order it on the TEM255606 product page at Koeep.

Fitment chart

Make Model Year range Engine
Mitsubishi Galant 2004 – 2012 2.4L
Mitsubishi Eclipse 2006 – 2011 2.4L
Mitsubishi Endeavor 2011 3.8L

The 2011 Endeavor 3.8L uses the same compressor type, but it is a secondary application — verify fitment before you buy if that's your vehicle.

Run a wider year range or a 3.8L engine? The ECCPP A/C compressor for 06-12 Mitsubishi Endeavor, Galant and Eclipse covers both the 2.4L and 3.8L, which helps if your build date sits right at the edge of the chart above.

Technical Specifications

These are the numbers that matter when you're matching a compressor to your car:

Specification Detail
Compressor type MSC105 — scroll/swash plate design
Refrigerant R-134A
Voltage 12V DC
Pulley drive Multi-groove serpentine (V-ribbed) belt
Condition 100% brand new, not remanufactured
Fitment type Direct bolt-on replacement, OE-style
Clutch Full electromagnetic clutch assembly included
Warranty 1-year warranty

OEM and aftermarket numbers it replaces

Before you order, match these against the sticker on your old compressor or your dealer's records. The TEM255606 replaces all of the following part numbers:

MN185233 • MR513358 • MSC105CA • 275847 • TEM255606 • TEM275847 • 140160C • 140160NC • 0610253 • 7813A325 • CO-11159T

Five Signs Your Compressor Is Done

  • ❄️ Warm air from the vents. The compressor can't pressurize the refrigerant, so heat never leaves the cabin.
  • 🔊 Grinding or squealing up front. Worn bearings or a failing clutch assembly generate abnormal noise from the compressor area.
  • 🔄 The clutch never engages. The electromagnetic clutch won't lock in, so the compressor never cycles.
  • 💧 Refrigerant leaks. Visible oil residue or UV dye around the compressor shaft seal points to failed internal seals.
  • ⚡ Blown fuses or a tripping A/C relay. A seized compressor draws excessive current through the circuit.

Any one of these justifies a replacement. Keep running a failing compressor and it can shed debris through the entire A/C system — which turns a simple parts swap into a full system rebuild. Current stock and fitment details are on the Koeep product page.

Installation Steps That Protect the New Unit

On the 2.4L Galant and Eclipse, the physical swap is a straightforward bolt-on job. The steps below are what separate a compressor that lasts from one that dies within a month:

  1. Flush the system. Clean the A/C lines, condenser and evaporator to remove debris and old oil left behind by the failed compressor.
  2. Replace the receiver-drier or accumulator. This part traps moisture and contamination — reuse it, and both go straight into your new TEM255606.
  3. Replace the expansion valve or orifice tube. A clogged metering device starves the new compressor of proper refrigerant flow.
  4. Add the correct oil. The MSC105 compressor runs on PAG 46. A dry system typically needs 150-180 cc; check the pre-charge before adding more.
  5. Pull a deep vacuum, then recharge. Draw the system down to 500 microns or lower and hold it for at least 30 minutes before charging with R-134A — typically 21-25 oz for these models.

💡 Torque matters: tighten the compressor bracket bolts to 18-25 ft-lbs and the clutch hub nut to 15-18 ft-lbs — with a torque wrench, not by feel. Overtightening warps the compressor housing and turns a brand-new part into scrap.

New vs Remanufactured vs Used

Here's where your money actually goes across the three options:

Feature New (Koeep TEM255606) Remanufactured Used / junkyard
Reliability Excellent — factory-fresh internals Moderate — depends on the rebuilder Poor — unknown history
Warranty 1-year warranty 90 days to 1 year, varies As-is, no warranty
Internal seals All-new Viton seals Replaced only if damaged Original — high failure risk
Bearings New, high quality May use refurbished bearings Worn or questionable
Value Best long-term value Cheaper up front A gamble

Bottom line: a reman unit only gets fresh seals and bearings if the rebuilder decides they need them. A junkyard compressor carries no warranty and an unknown history. The new TEM255606 from Koeep ships with new Viton seals, new bearings and a complete clutch — so you do this job once.

More Parts for Your 2.4L Mitsubishi

The Galant and Eclipse share a platform, so while the front of the car is apart, it pays to check the rest of it:

  • Timing belt and water pump kit guide — a complete maintenance walkthrough for the 2004-2009 Lancer and Eclipse 2.4L, if your belt service is coming due.
  • Front-left CV axle — fits the 2006-2012 Eclipse and the 2007, 2009-2011 Galant 2.4L; worth inspecting while the car is on jack stands for the compressor job.
  • AC & Heating collection — the full climate control catalog for cars and motorcycles, if you need anything beyond the compressor itself.

The Bottom Line

If you own a 2004-2012 Galant or a 2006-2011 Eclipse with the 2.4L engine, the TEM255606 is the direct answer: OEM-spec fitment, a complete clutch assembly, R-134A ready, new seals and bearings, and a 1-year warranty behind it all.

FAQ — Questions Buyers Ask

Does the TEM255606 come with the clutch assembly installed?

Yes. It ships with the full electromagnetic clutch, pulley and coil pre-installed — a complete, bolt-on ready unit.

What type of PAG oil should I use?

PAG 46. Most new compressors arrive pre-filled with the correct amount, but verify the charge before install. For a completely dry system, you may need 6-8 oz total, counting what's already in the compressor.

Will it fit my 2008 Eclipse GS with the 2.4L?

Yes. Every 2006-2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse with the 2.4L engine — GS and SE trims included — is fully compatible with the TEM255606.

Do I need to replace other parts along with the compressor?

Yes. Swap the receiver-drier (accumulator), the expansion valve, and all O-ring seals at the same time. Skipping them invites moisture and contamination straight into your new compressor.

How much refrigerant does the system hold?

The factory spec for R-134A is typically 21-25 ounces — roughly 600-700 grams. Always check the under-hood sticker for your specific vehicle.

How long is the warranty?

The new TEM255606 from Koeep carries a 1-year warranty. Remanufactured units vary from 90 days to a year; used compressors carry no warranty at all.

Does it fit the 2011 Endeavor 3.8L?

The Endeavor uses the same compressor type, but it is a secondary application — verify fitment before purchase. The ECCPP compressor also spans 06-12 Endeavor, Galant and Eclipse in both 2.4L and 3.8L.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
